This privacy policy explains what information conniepfeiffer.com collects when you visit or contact Connie Pfeiffer through this website, how it is used, and the choices you have.
Who we are
This website belongs to Connie Pfeiffer, a sculptor, metalsmith and educator based in East Haddam, Connecticut. In this policy, “we”, “us” and “our” mean Connie Pfeiffer, and “the website” means conniepfeiffer.com.
Information we collect
Information you give us. When you send a message through the contact form, we receive the details you enter: your name, company (optional), phone number, email address and your message. If you email or call us directly, we receive your email address or phone number and whatever you choose to tell us.
Information collected automatically. Like most websites, our hosting provider’s servers record basic technical information when pages are requested, such as your IP address, browser type and the pages viewed. If you allow analytics cookies, Google Analytics also collects information about how you use the website (see “Analytics” below).
We do not ask for or knowingly collect sensitive information, and we do not sell or rent personal information to anyone.
How we use your information
- To reply to your message and to correspond with you about artwork, exhibitions, commissions, teaching or other inquiries.
- To understand how visitors use the website so we can improve it.
- To keep the website secure and working properly, including preventing spam and misuse of the contact form.
Cookies and your choices
When you first visit, a banner asks whether we may use cookies for analytics (counting visits and seeing how people found the website) and for marketing measurement. Your answer is saved in a cookie named “ll_consent” so you aren’t asked on every page. If you decline analytics, Google Analytics measures visits without setting cookies. You can change your choice at any time with the “Cookie settings” button on this page, or by clearing cookies in your browser.
The website may also store a few small, non-personal items in your browser so that it works smoothly, such as remembering that you closed a message, or the text size, spacing and contrast you choose in the accessibility options. These stay on your device and can be removed in your browser settings. The website counts how often each accessibility option is used, as totals only, without recording who used them.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics, provided by Google LLC, to see how many people visit the website and which pages they view. Google Analytics may collect your IP address, device and browser details, and the pages you visit. We use this information only in summary form and do not use it to identify you. You can read how Google uses this information at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites, and you can opt out of Google Analytics on all websites with the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
Third-party services and links
- Google Fonts. Some of the website’s fonts are loaded from Google’s servers (fonts.googleapis.com), which receive your IP address when a page loads. See Google’s privacy policy.
- Hosting and email. The website is hosted by a web hosting company that stores the website and its data on our behalf, and messages from the contact form are delivered to us by email through Google (Gmail).
- Embedded content. If a page includes a video or other content from another website (for example YouTube or Vimeo), that content behaves as if you visited the other website, which may collect data about you and set its own cookies.
- Links to other websites. Links such as our Instagram profile take you to websites we don’t control. Their own privacy policies apply once you leave this website.
Who we share information with
We share information only with the service providers described above, who help us run the website, deliver email and measure visits, and only as needed for those purposes. We may also disclose information if required by law. We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information.
How long we keep information
Messages you send through the contact form are kept in the website and in our email for as long as needed to respond to you and keep a record of our correspondence, unless you ask us to delete them sooner. Analytics information is kept according to Google Analytics’ data retention settings. Server logs are kept by our hosting provider for a limited period for security purposes.
Your rights
You can ask us to show you the personal information we hold about you, to correct it, or to delete it. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under laws such as the Connecticut Data Privacy Act, the California Consumer Privacy Act or the EU and UK General Data Protection Regulation. To make a request, contact us using the details below. We will not treat you differently for exercising your rights.
How we protect information
The website uses a secure (HTTPS) connection, and we keep its software up to date and limit who can access it. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we take reasonable steps to protect the information you share with us.
Children’s privacy
This website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date on this page shows when it was last changed.
